I’ll drink your sweet wine

The female was spending a bit of time apart from Idun though both of them knew, should he call, she would heed that call as swiftly as her limbs could carry her. In the meanwhile she left him to his work and she, on the other paw, had taken to attempting to find some company. Hers was not the sort to leave alone for long for, while she would refuse to mate with anyone other than Idun, that would not stop her from insisting that she and a stranger cuddle up in their den. As long as she was warm, fed, and had a bit of attention her basic needs were met; that was enough.

Not wanting to stray too far from Auster just yet the female found herself in a grove of wildberries. The sweet scent in the area was alluring to say the least; Noe enjoyed it. She had taken in her fill of some berries and laid down at the base of one of the bushes to curl up for a nap. Head upon her paws the female let out a content sigh.

Noemí had barely begun to slip into a doze when she heard humming. At first she tried to dismiss it, but something told her to stir and, somewhat grumpily, she got up to see who it was. She peered around the corner, maw opening to speak, when words and motion failed her. She paused, a paw still in mid air as her eyes fell on an oh too familiar spotted form. Her jaw hung open for a couple extra seconds before she managed to find her words. “I see how you are~” She teased. “Disappear, not even a goodbye, and now I catch you eating blueberries on a bush right next to me without even saying hello? Hmph, guess I’m not worth much~!” She wore a wide grin as she waited to see her sister’s reaction. It had been far too long since she’d seen Elise and she’d be lying if she said she wasn’t excited.

This was a blessing for sure.
